Reviewed December 29, 2023 (edited December 30, 2023)Philosophically, I am pretty much a purist when it comes to my bourbon. Double oak or oak staves that basically accelerate the aging process, Im ok with. Secondary barreling in wine barrels is a stretch for me, but I have enjoyed some. Amburana finishing might cross the line. This is more akin to flavored bourbon. It's not bad but this tastes like someone poured maple syrup in the bourbon. Aromas and flavors are intense, predominately maple, apple and baking spices overwhelm the basic flavor. In spite of that, the finish is very short. No more for me70.0 USD per Bottle -

Reviewed December 20, 2023honey and light oak to start, some caramels and vanilla coming though then the typical cinnamon spice from the cask, a burnt brown sugar/maple mingle alot with the spice. The finish is medium length with a nutty, sweet and spicy finish. i found this one to taste better than rio or doc swinsons. -

Reviewed December 12, 2023Part of my 2023 advent calendar, RD One Amburana is a honey like color reminding one about the sweet transition of summer into fall. While a little astringent on the nose there are hints of sweet vanilla and butter cream. The firet sip is a flsvor bomb a little thin in thr mouth but cinnamon toast with a nutmeg baking spice finish. This for those that have had Penelope RIO would find this a lesser sweet version. Delicious and delightful! -

Reviewed December 9, 2023Nose- cinnamon graham cracker. Apple/apricot and a funky banana peel like aroma. Maple. More apple pie vibes as it sits. Palate- spicy apple jacks. Vanilla frosting. Fades fast. Some sweet subtle oak in the finish. Overall- very different. Delicious flavors upfront. Lacks a bit on the finish. Worth the buy.70.0 USD per Bottle -

Reviewed December 1, 2023 (edited December 2, 2023)NEAT NOSE - Apples and Cinnamon with some vanilla. “Apple Jacks” or an Apple Cinnamon Nutri-grain Bar PALATE - Apples and Cinnamon FINISH - Doesn’t last long, but very pleasant. OVERALL - I thought people were exagerrating when they said this smelled and tasted like Apple Jacks, but they weren’t lying! I even had my wife smell it and she immediately said it tasted like apples and cinnamon. For the price and proof, this is an excellent value. Speaking of the proof, this honestly goes down like a 90 proof, not 110. Definite buy and something I’d like to keep on the shelf.
